redzombie Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Anyone know of a DI box, cheaper than Radial's JDI, that has 2 inputs which can be merged into one output? Would like a JDI but they're over my budget. I've read that the Rolls DB25B can possibly do this but haven't found any real confirmation, also, anyone know if the 1/4" and XLR inputs on the Behringer DI100 can be used simultaneously? I suppose I could just get a passive mixer (both sources are low impedance) and link that to a DI, but it'd be nice to have it all in one box.

ahpook Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) all the inputs on the DI100 are wired in parallel, so you should be able to use all 3 ins if you so wish (XLR, input and link) Edited February 6, 2013 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzombie Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks ahpook, I'll give it a shot! Didn't really realise the link on the DI100 could be used as an in as well, I thought it was only an unbalanced out. Very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] worthwhile bearing in mind that if you put two gutars/basses into the inputs then the output impedances of the instruments will dictate how they mix together. i just plugged a bass and a guitar into the link and input jacks of my DI100 and the mix of the two depended on the volume controls of the two instruments - not ideal but tweakable to some extent. i'd imagine running each instrument into a buffered pedal before the DI could help to stop the interaction.

redzombie Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Being a passive DI box I thought that might possibly be the case. I'm planning to run 2 different POD units, basically acting as preamps, into the DI100. I figure I should have plenty of room to mix and match the volume of the two paths.

ahpook Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 reckon you'll be fine then - hope it turns out well ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
